Mrs Geo Findley returned from Nevada last Thursday, where she had gone to see her sick niece, who died after her arrival. Mr WT Lowery and wife, of Mt. Sterling Kentucky, was paying his old friend, Wm Walls a visit one day last week. He has since returned to his home, having completed a three weeks’ visit to relatives and friends in this part of the moral vineyard. Like all Kentuckians we found him to be an intelligent and amiable gentleman. Our young folks whiled away the hours on last Friday evening at the home of WC Kennedy in a merry social. A splendid time is reported. The two children of Mr Isaac Walls have been quite sick with something like scarlet fever, but are better at present. We hope there may be some mistake in diagnosing the cases as it would be a fearful thing to have this dread disease in our midst. One of the worst tragedies that ever hung gloom over any communi- *| ty came near happening in our quiet little village last Wednesday night. It seems asif Mrs Fred Freer, who lives with her husband up over Mr Packer’s store, had gone on a visit to remain over night, and Mr Freer being in no hurry to go up to their room did not put in his appearance until sometime after dark, when he went upto retire. What happened when he went inside the door may never be accurately known. At any rate Mr Packer, who wasin the store, was startled at a mad rushing, hissing sound like unto a falling meteor, which proved to be Mr Freer coming down stairs like the ‘‘Water pouring down Lodore” and bursting in upon him reported that somebody was up | stairs and he was satisfied there were (several, ashe had received two dis- tinct blows on the breast, three on the thigh, seven on the shanks and fourteen kicks ashe left the room. Of course this aroused Packer, who with the courage of a ‘‘British bull- dog” and who would fight a real ghost, armed himself with a revolver and making Freer go before so that he could prevent an attack from the rear, they cautiously went back to do battle with the foe. Of course as conservative men they were in no hurry and took plenty of time for | their wrath to cool down, for fear of doing too much damage tothe in- Finally they saw he was not going to come out and present him- self for a target so they went in, and with light in hand discovered the fowl craven under the bed in the shape of a little turkey hen. After the excitement of the discovery and capture it was found that an old blanket under the stairway was on fire, and it could only be accounted for by supposing that Freer’s rapid transit in ‘‘stooting the chute” of the stairway proved to baa regular electric battery, and thus generated the sparks that started the fire. We would advise that everybody accept our version of the affair and not ask Mr Freer any questions as he is fig- uring out how such asmail thing can get up such a big scare. Mr Hayes, the popular blacksmith of Culver, was a visitor here last Sun- day. Geo Alspaugh shipped a car of hogs from here Monday.

The grand jury has furnished some individaal an opportunity to vent his spleen against some of our drugmen by the return of the in- dictments against them. We are opposed to the violation of law by — druggists or any one else, but their Punishment should be because of that violation and not because they have incurred the displeasure of some scoundrel who, caring nothing for the law, takes advantage of the opportunity to get even. Druggists and all others should be made to re- spect the majesty of law rather than the spitefulness of a person. We hope our next grand jury will administer — justice to one and all in proportion’ to their several offenses and thus dis- arm the vengeful hyprocrite of his hitherto most powerful weapon. 1. T.
